WATCH: Sunny Hostin can't resist taking a vile racist swipe at Nikki Haley — and she's not remotely sorry about it

Breaking news: Sunny Hostin is a flaming garbage person.

That’s not breaking news, of course, but it never hurts to be reminded that she’s just straight-up terrible. Fortunately, she reminds us constantly. She reminded us again today with her comments on Nikki Haley:

Finally promoting GOP women, Farah Griffin notes the possibility of Nikki Haley running in 2024 and how effective she was as governor.
But villainous race-baiter Sunny interrupts to chide: "What is her real name again?" And essentially calls Haley a race traitor. pic.twitter.com/QOCR3ty5Na

Beg your pardon, Sunny?

ABC's Sunny Hostin might — just might — be a racist for this disgusting smear of Nikki Haley, calling her a "chameleon" and implying she's adopted "Nikki" as a fake name so Republicans aren't turned off by her Indian heritage pic.twitter.com/d9voAXu46V

In a matter of seconds, Sunny Hostin manages to slime Nikki Haley, the GOP, and Indian Americans. It’s kind of impressive, actually.

I wonder what Caryn Elaine Johnson thought about that question. https://t.co/cddosvPGoA

For those not in the know, Caryn Elaine Johnson is Whoopi Goldberg’s real name. And Caryn’s not even the only “View” cohost who goes by a different first name than the one she was given at birth:

Today on @TheView Asunción Cummings had big thoughts on @NikkiHaley not using her “real name”. If you aren’t familiar with Asunción, that’s @sunny real name. pic.twitter.com/0AKm8HvtOo

This isn't the first time Nikki Haley has been the target of racism from the left and it won't be the last.
former FBI intern and wine auntie Ash Rangappa frequently did this as well, and these attacks go back to the 2014 SC gubernatorial racehttps://t.co/sH4PKkAWnE

Evidently Sunny did not learn anything from Asha Rangappa getting busted for racism toward Nikki Haley.

Same people who will shit themselves if you “dead name” anyone

Yup, and the people that insist on calling Ted Cruz "Raphael Cruz" or calling Trump "Drumpf." It's easier when you remember that they all just have double standards for people they like and people they don't.

It gets better, though. And by “better,” we mean “worse.” Because by some miracle, some of Hostin’s cohosts actually called her out on what she said about Haley … and Hostin took the opportunity to apologize and promptly flushed it down the toilet:

Alyssa finally grew a spine and confronted Sunny on the Haley smears.
Sunny calls the former Ambassador a racial "chameleon" who's not "embracing" her "ethnicity."
Sara Haines BLASTS Sunny: "You go by a different name!"
Sunny says Americans are too stupid to pronounce her name. pic.twitter.com/aQrmmjzplv

Well, that was something.

Whoopi at the end "killing" the conversation by saying "I am authentically myself. I am Whoopi Goldberg". Her actual name is Caryn Elaine Johnson. This whole segment is completely insane. https://t.co/snLdYrkyNc

Nice of Whoopi (or Caryn) to step in and kill the conversation. Too bad she couldn’t do it before Sunny Hostin committed character suicide.

what kind of privilege is it when you get to spew racism without consequence? https://t.co/xjKzjb2SUm

Good question. We’ll probably find out soon enough when Sunny Hostin suffers absolutely no professional consequences for openly spewing racist drivel on national television.
